With a playoff win on the line, Cross rose to the challenge on Monday. They blew past the Oakbrook Prep Knights, posting a 62-24 win. The Stingrays have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 12 games by 20 points or more this season.

It was another big night for Ryan Mayers, who dropped a double-double with 18 points and 16 boards. Cross is 12-2 when Mayers posts eight or more rebounds, but 5-8 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Reyannah Maldonado, who went 8-for-15 en route to 19 points and six boards.

Cross is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-10 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 58.9 points over those games. Oakbrook Prep's loss dropped their record down to 4-10.

Cross didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next contest, a 63-40 victory against Lee Academy on the 20th. Oakbrook Prep does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
